You were just a kid when I first met you
corner of the street where it rained on me
you spoke kindly when I was all shades of black
Storms got higher and fear grew strong
weight got heavy and hurt us all
and the holy love that conquers all
was only quietly spoken at nights.
I'm alone when the curtains fall
when fear gets a hold and loneliness crawls
oh help me learn to love
and I'll stay by your side.
Oh holy love
cover me like snow
swallow me whole
wash away the pain.
Days go by as I watch them float
pain cast deep like a knife on the throat
but you were just a kid and I needed more
didn't know what to do.
How can you love when you're lost in the dark
when pain is stronger than your fragile heart
sometimes the holy love that conquers all
is only quietly spoken at nights.
Oh holy love
cover me like snow
swallow me whole
wash away the pain.
Oh holy love
cover me like snow
swallow me whole
and I'll never let you go
